    Recommended Posts

    Hi, picked this info. off the web, it will answer your question:

    I joined the Royal Navy in January 1964 at HMS Raleigh in Torpoint East Cornwall. I was what Ganges and St Vincent boys called a '16 week wonder'. I did one week in new entry then 6 weeks 'Part I' Training' in Anson Division - Class 102, then 10 weeks in 'Part II' in Jellico Division - Class 902. Our Instructor was PO Hampson. We Passed out in May 1964, I joined as Junior Seaman 2nd Class No SQ I left as a Junior Seaman 1st Class SQ Seaman Gunner, Onto HMS Cambridge for basic training, Wage on joining ?5 per fortnight. On completion of training ?6. (I bet we would all like a 20% increase today).
